Antonymy and negation (2006, background): “…and experimental data concerning the general combinatorial constraints and collocational possibilities between totality modiﬁers and the lexical elements they modify on the one hand and scalar modiﬁers and the elements they modify on the other in terms of boundedness (Paradis, 1997, 2001, 2003b).”
Scale Structure, Degree Modification, and the Semantics of Gradable Predicates (2005, methodology): “In this section we argue that the scale structure of deverbal adjectives can be predicted based on the event structure associated with the source verb, and that in the case of all adjectives a crucial factor is the boundedness of the adjective's argument (cf. Paradis 2001).”
The concepts of constructional mismatch and type-shifting from the perspective of grammaticalization (2007, background): “The head is usually referred to as ‘‘gradable/non-gradable’’, but the terms ‘‘unbounded/bounded’’ (Paradis 2001; Kennedy and McNally 2005) are preferable because of the potential for harmonic relations not only with adjectives (gradable/ non-gradable), but also with verbs (non-telic/telic), and…”
Where Does Metonymy Stop? Senses, Facets, and Active Zones (2004, background): “Conceptual space is structured relative to two types of ontological domains: thecontentdomainand the schematicdomain (Cruse&Togia,1996;Paradis, 2001, 2003).”
Telic senses of deadjectival verbs (2007, background): “In (32a) completely cool is interpreted as ‘definitely/unquestionably cool’; in other words, it is incon- 11 Paradis (2001) cites the use of completely, totally, absolutely and so on as intensifiers with extreme value adjectives such as brilliant andmarvellous, which resist very: cf. absolutely…”
Between epistemic modality and degree: the case of really (2001, background): “detailed analysis of the different types of adjectives with respect to schematic properties, see Paradis 2001 .”
Configurations, construals and change: expressions of DEGREE1 (2008, unknown): “Those structures are more clearly stated in Paradis (2001).”
